Braces
Explained

Dental braces are wire-based appliances that orthodontists use to correct crowded and misaligned teeth or jaws. Many people who need dental braces get them during their early teenage years, but adults also can benefit from wearing braces. The goal of dental braces is to properly align your teeth and jaws to produce an even bite and pleasing smile.

If you or your teen is tired of living with crooked teeth, now is an excellent time to consider orthodontics. At Bramalea Smiles Dentistry we regularly answer questions about braces and alternative to braces like Invisalign.

TYPES OF BRACES

1. TRADITIONAL METAL BRACES

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.

2. SELF-LIGATING BRACES

Self-ligating braces are made from the same materials as traditional braces. However, self-ligating braces do not require the use of elastics, meaning fewer appointments and less friction being placed on the tooth. Self-ligating braces come with traditional metal, ceramic, or clear brackets. They are the same size as metal braces, but use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the archwire guide teeth into place. The clip helps reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth, and requires fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.

3. CLEAR (CERAMIC) BRACES

Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.

4. CLEAR ALIGNERS

Clear aligners are a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten your teeth like braces. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.

5. LINGUAL BRACES

Lingual braces are hidden behind the teeth and are therefore “invisible” when you smile. Lingual braces are 100% customized to match the shape of your teeth; the metal appliances are created uniquely for you. Lingual braces are a very reasonable option for athletes, models, actors/actresses, musicians who play wind instruments, and adult professionals.

I have visited last year 2019 to tooth fill up. After a week started a problem. I contacted them specially dr Anita. She asked me to come back with no charges. I went there. Dr Anita fixed it but one month later again started more big problems. Dr Anita has no good experience. She is new learner dentist. Also charge a large bill. It’s a one kind of robing people. Unnecessary extra charge for X-ray. do not provide a receipt too. I do not recommend any person to go there. Better search experience dentist in your area.
Hospitality is very poor. Specially Ashok yadav at reception had very poor attitude. In totality, I felt it’s a cheating and wrong place for treatment. No good knowledge about dental treatment. Be careful !!!!

Nice dental place in Bramalea area. Dr Gupta is an expert at what she does. She’s very friendly, and is willing to accommodate if you have special requirements. They are also flexible with time of appointments and in fact agreed to close the place after their usual closing time for me. I have been there more than 3 times, and will return. Recommended!!

“Very Pleasant Indeed”
It was a very pleasant meeting with Dr Anita and her team. I was suffering from a toothache and infection very badly. I was thinking of removing my tooth as it was bothering a lot . She is very professional in explaining and providing valuable suggestions and options. I must say “Thank you” for saving my tooth. I felt like two hours for my procedure went by so quick. It is not easy to find a good Dentist for a family and especially for Kids. My daughter says “I like my Dentist”.
I highly recommend Dr. Anita and her team for your Family .

I was so scared of going to dentist…. always tried to cancel/postponed my appointment.
When I went for a consult appointment….. I could see what was going on and Dr. Anita was so kind, honest and understanding and she took the time to address my concerns. Also loved the staff and office…
